SOVIET Model 1891 Mosin-Nagant bolt-action DRAGOON rifle # 35807 (7.62x54R) mfg. by Izhevsk in 1927. Excellent refurbished condition, with 95% or better bluing on all metal and a hexagonal receiver. Totally a real original Dragoon, with ladder rear sight & blade front sight. All matching stamped serial numbers, with a mirror-bright bore. Buttstock and handguard has a few minor scuffs and scraped shellac, no Finn markings at all.  Extremely rare, how this rifle did not get upgraded to the 91/30 configuration when being refurbished is a total mystery.

  FINN Model 91/30 replica PU SNIPER Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle # YYOO5196 (7.62x54R), mfg. by Izhevsk in 1938 with [SA] Finn property-mark on left side of barrel-shank. Excellent condition with full bluing on all metal parts and a mirror-bright bore (NOT counterbored at muzzle). All serialized parts numbered (or renumbered) 5196  (matching), has long bent bolt handle,  Essentially this was standard Finn-captured 91/30 that Century International Arms expertly mounted a PU scope on (back in the early 1990's when they had tons of Finn Mosins and many spare Soviet scopes just lying around).  This rifle features a Finn stacked blade front sight (instead of the Soviet hooded post) and a low-wall round receiver, Finn bolt-type sling swivels and Finn green-leather military sling.   The optics are bright and clear, and this very rifle has proven to be an excellent and most accurate shooter by its previous owner.  The scope mount is numbered to this rifle, and it includes leather lens caps and fabric scope cover with correct 1976-dated PU scope paperwork.   The Finn 2-piece "potbelly" buttstock has almost no handling marks   The advantage of using a Finn-captured rifle to create a PU sniper is that the triggers are considerably better on the Finns than the standard Soviet rifle.  Original Finnish Mosin Nagant snipers are excessively rare.   PHOTOS . . . $1650.*    C&R
